Brazosport Christian School
AcademicsCurriculum
Our goal at BCS is to maintain high standards of excellence in academics. We select textbooks and other instructional materials from several publishing companies. We have made every effort to incorporate materials from Christian publishing companies into our program. When we have determined that we cannot maintain academic excellence in a particular curricular area using texts from Christian publishers, we have chosen offerings from secular companies and rely upon the teacher to serve as our “living curriculum.” Our teachers, as the spiritual leaders and shepherds of the students entrusted to them, carefully screen and edit all materials either to omit non-biblical references and influences or use them to teach the biblical standpoint.
